While some professional learning programs offer standards-based instruction and others offer equity and social justice, we are unique in that WE DO BOTH! Here’s how!
We provide the following professional learning programs that incorporate:
Networking <> Leadership <> Instruction
Our mission is to provide joyful and high quality STEM professional learning that combines STEM content + Culturally Responsive Teaching.
The STEM4Real Network is a one-of-a-kind professional learning experience that combines live webinars, collaboration, networking and ongoing professional development focused on STEM content and social justice.
We will equip our educators with the #4REAL approach to achieving a socially just and standards-based STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) Education.
Leadership 4 Justice #4Real Series will equip our educators with the #4REAL approach to achieving a socially just and standards-based STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) Education.
Our multifaceted series addresses the root causes of student inequities and social injustice so that you graduate with an action plan on how to recognize and dismantle systemic racism, increase student outcomes and rebuild your education system #4Real.
Every school and district has their own unique characteristics and may need a little extra love. STEM4Real will create specific and intensive professional learning plans designed to meet these unique characteristics.
Together, we will build out a tailor-made professional learning series to carry out your school or district mission and vision, #4Real.
Our standards-based educator trainings are focused on the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) with equity and social justice at the forefront.
Having students generate questions about a phenomenon is such a good way of including every student, every experience, and every culture in science. Any student can be a scientist and can make references to other material they are learning in school or to past experiences due to the many cross-cutting concepts implemented through NGSS
There are many tools and strategies that I am excited to implement within my classroom. They include the sticky note brainstorm strategy, doing a nature/campus walk to observe and write down phenomena, seeing the NGSS as 3 dimensions of what the student can think, know, and do, and also the 5E lesson planning template tool.
I loved the techniques for structuring NGSS (3D, 5E, CER). NGSS was feeling really open-ended but it now feels like I have a better understanding of how to plan both short and long term.
